People talk about what you're supposed to eat before surgery or marathons, but what about the grub to be had prior to wedding festivities? Six hungry hippos prepared for an evening on the dance floor with the help of Limon's. Enchiladas Verdes, Tacos Al Pastor, Chilaquiles, and Empanadas filled the enormous table we occupied. A sight to behold. My Enchiladas were too tall of a task to complete, but tasty enough to try. I'm no daisy to be stepped on by spicy fare, yet this color green packed a punch. Consider this your PSA. To my right, Ryan experienced an ethereal moment of awakening. These shells of pork were "the best he'd had" and this was backed quickly by the ever-reliable Mr. Pugh. You may not know these gentlemen, but consider them reputable sources in Dallas dining. Limon's is undeniably tasty. I'd come back here, yet the prices and egregiously loud TV may hold others from returning. Couple notches quieter wouldn't hurt, ya know? read more

Food was delicioso! Place was in a sketchy area but safe during the day for lunch! I went with three enchiladas verde with beef and had plantanos with cheese extra. Everything was delicious! First time having plantains with cheese and it was a great combo! Could use more plantains for the prices though! read more

Authentic. Delicious. Great for Hangovers, with big portions that fill. Everything is a must try on menu. Menudo and barbacoa tacos on weekends for me, enchiladas verdes any other time. read more

Customer service is amazing, but in my opinion the food is extremely over priced and lacked flavor. I will also admit I did not order what I came to order because I didn't realize the enchiladas didn't have anything inside so I couldn't get chicken or steak inside. They also mentioned they only had pork so I decided to avoid the sopes. If I had to do it again I would have ordered the sopes or tacos. I would have given a 3 or 2 star based on the food I had, but I looked around and the place is very clean and I enjoyed myself watching the nba finals. The server was nice and even covered my change and gave us free sour cream. Which tasted more like a home made light whipped mayo. The bathrooms where clean and overall the whole place was very clean. I would give it another chance one day to try something else simply for the fact that I enjoyed myself. read more

I've been here several times, food is good but my review is based on customer service today. It was horrible. I entered and not greeted, no one checked on me, I asked for coffee twice and wasn't given coffee till 10 mins after. I could see employees just in the back talking away with no care in the world that I was there or taking care of the store. read more

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had a Mexican grandmother and you would go over to her house and she would feed you delicious things until you would pass out in a small pool of happy tears? Wonder no more and give this place a try. If you have a Mexican grandmother, by all means go visit her, but come here if she's not available. Here you will find Oaxacan style Mexican comfort food so good you might consider quitting your job and becoming a professional customer. The Antojitos plate is a great way to go if you want to try a variety of options. Sure it's an "appetizer" plate, but how else will you be able to taste the empanadas, gorditas, guarachas and tostadas on one plate? You can customize each individual item for which kind of meat ( or beans, or cheese) you'd like. Better yet, give up the headache of making a choice and just let your friendly employee choose what they think is best. It's a safe bet they will be right. Service is friendly. It's tiny and super casual. A perfect sort of place that feels like you are somehow both local and far away. If they bring you a fork with your antojitos, make sure you don't use it. This is handheld food at it's finest. Silverware is for cowards and royalty. read more

Limon's Restaurant - 17. Picadas a la Mexicana - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Real Mexican food, served by real (spanish speaking) mexicans! Do not come here for Tex-Mex; no chips & salsa at Limon's. What they do have, is outstanding authentic mexican food at fair prices! Order at the counter; if you don't speak Spanish - just order by the numbers on the wall. Big photos adorn the wall-menu, so it is easy for gringoes to select winners! Drink choices are limited to whatever is sitting in the upright cooler; I enjoyed my cold orange Fanta! The black bean soup is thin enough to drink, but tasty enough that you'll want more. Great Tostadas and Empanadas were enjoyed at our table. Adequate seating for the small lunch crowd. What they lack in decor, they make up in food quality. Before we left, the owner came over to make sure we enjoyed our food. He also offered menu tips and invited us to return. A big tip of the sombrero for hospitality! read more

Limon's Restaurant - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I had been dying to try this place for like 8 months, and recently I finally got the chance to stop by their West Dallas location. I first want to say this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant nor is it your typical authentic Mexican food restaurant or taco spot. Limon's specializes in AUTHENTIC street food from Veracruz. The 2nd thing I want to say is it's going to take me multiple trips and multiple posts to truly showcase this place. It's that good. Literally almost every single thing on their menu is post worthy, and I truly mean that. It might be my new favorite Mexican spot. If you can't take my word for it, Dallas Observer named them one of the 100 must try restaurants of 2020 and one of the top 50 restaurants. Their empanadas are rated #1 on Yelp Dallas! This trip, we kept it pretty simple just so we could get a decent sample. I got the Combinado Jarocho which came with 2 empanadas (we recommend chicken), an egg with salsa verde, picadas jarochas, and refried black beans. I also had to try their Tamales Veracruzanos, which came beautifully wrapped in a banana leaf. Trixie got the Gorditas Veracruzanos with chicken. It was stuffed in what looked like a puffed and deep fried corn tortilla topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese and sour cream. They also kindly sent out a couple of tacos out for us to try. The al pastor was excellent, but that conchita pibil was the winner for me. read more

Looking for something to eat this place is simple and clean, food was good and the salsa was spicy. Tortillas are handmade and they have a lot of variety on the menu. We got a chicken tamale as an appetizer and it was delicious and full of meat. The fried plantains were crispy and yummy. The chilaquiles were crispy and the meat was really good. They also have family movies playing to enjoy your meal. read more

Good food and service! Clean and comfortable! Would highly recommend to eat there! Enjoy!

I came back and had a combination platter with a gordita, tostada, empanada, and garnacha, all with chicken. Everything was super fresh, the shells were crispy without being greasy, and it's a big portion with all 4 :) The server was happy to explain the food to us gringos. I'd recommend asking about the platters without descriptions pictured to the right of the menu in the restaurant. read more

It's easy to give this place 5 stars! These were the best tacos in oak cliff I've had in a while. Once upon a time oak cliff was known for great tacos and then Cesar's came along and the Kardashian effect happened (where they all start to look alike) and the tacos were just not special anymore. Thank you thank you Limon's!!! These tacos have Handmade Tor-ti-llas!!!!!!! They have other dishes as well and some are dishes from Veracruz. They had menudo over the weekend and I asked, it's Veracruz style so it's different than the traditional menudo and has a very different flavor. I loved the atmosphere just casual you can bring your kids and it's fine. Don't be afraid to try the green enchiladas they are spicy!! So worth it to try the way enchiladas were meant to be. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem in oak clidff. We stopped on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The food is great and the service is friendly and quick. The homemade tortillas go perfectly with the tacos and the tamales are homemade also. If you're in the mood for quick cheap Mexican food you should stop by. read more

food is amazing, staff was really generous / recommended some great dishes. been back 3 times since moving to the area about a week ago. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Literally one of the best spots in Dallas. Homemade tortillas , the staff is extremely kind and helpful!

Back on a Tuesday for dinner with group of 7. Ordered different selections. Many of us sampled each other's food. I tried the fantastic empanadas (#3 on menu). Light delicate crust with generous portions of tasty meat fillings, and not greasy at all. Yum! My picadillo garnachas (#4 on menu) are also light and nicely topped with white cheese, cabbage, all with a definite homemade flair. There are several choices of other meats. So far, all my choices were very tasty and unique. Limon's black beans are perfectly cooked to the right consistency and are "sabrosos". I will definitely have that black bean side dish again. Being raised Latino; I've tasted many batches of home-cooked black beans and these are definitely properly cooked and seasoned. The empanadas, tamales, and garnachas, can all be ordered by the piece so you can design your own plate. The Veracruz tamal I had tonight was superb in consistency and flavor. The masa was moist, well-seasoned, and the pork flavorful. Just like the two chicken tamales I tried a few evenings ago. Everyone in my group noticed how happy and friendly the staff are. That makes a big difference in any restaurant experience. We were informed that although the main menu on the wall says that mole is available on weekends only, it is now available all week long due to the high demand. I just can't wait to try the mole now. Also note that Limon's closes at 7 PM on Tuesday evenings. They open every Monday through Saturday beginning at 9 AM. Many of us are looking forward to planning a breakfast or Saturday brunch here soon. I was so pleased to be the catalyst who helped my dinner friends experience the delicious dishes here. Just be aware Limón does not have a liquor license, they don't serve tortillas chips with salsa, and no mariachi music here. Bottled water is only a dollar. Mexican Cokes, Fanta, and bottled soft drinks are available from the cold drink case. Come here for the high-quality food and very casual, family atmosphere. This is a small unpretentious place for people who enjoy independent cafes such as Limon's where you can eat delicious Veracruz style food without leaving Oakcliff. read more

Went there for the first time and loved the food. I had the picaditas a la mexicana plate. It was delicious! The green salsa was more spicy than the red but not too spicy. Everything was seasoned perfectly. The flavor was great. I will be back. There's so much more I want to try. I took my order to go but while I was there the staff was nice. read more

It's rare to find a restaurant that have 5 stars on so many reviews. It's even rarer for me to give a 5 start review. The Enchiladas rojo that I got was so good! It reminds me of the Enchiladas that my Mexican neighbor would make and invite me to eat. The rice, beans , the way the meal is prepared and presented is 100% authentic. The location is so non descrip that you would assume the food is not good. Let me tell you, don't pass by. If you passed em turn around and come in for lunch or dinner. If you like authentic Mexican food you won't be dismayed with Limon's read more

Damn good tacos. The homemade tortillas accelerate the flavor by so much. Soft, fluffy, yet sturdy for any type of meat. It really makes a huge difference when having them compared to store bought ones. Their barbacoa has a great gamey flavor. Its almost like Im eating goat. It can be a little wet, to the point where juices are spilling out, but its worth every bite. Their pastor is some of the finest in DFW. They add a good amount of pineapple, yet it never feels too sweet. The pastor has a great texture as well. The fruity body along with the pork taste rings in my mouth like a gong! The tripas took me by surprise. Never have I had tripas taste this good. It was tender, yet still had that distinguishable chew of intestines. Their horchata has huge chunks of coconut. Something I did not expect but it was quite welcomed. I wish it had more cinnamon in its profile but it was a damn good coconut flavor. I did like their Salvadorian tamales, but Im quite biased to my mexican tamales. If you order their tamales, realize they are not mexican style. Overall, Limons has some of the best and unique pastor in Dallas. The owners and operators feel like family and will make you feel at home with their warm vibes and good food. read more

Fantastic Mexican food in an unassuming store front. When a place has a small menu you know they're working on doing those items the best. Fast and hot food that will fill your stomachs, heart and soul. They have enmoladas, enfrijoladas, and so many more lesser known Mexican favorites. I love the special that has an enmolada, pastor, rice and beans. So flavorful and so well prepared. Also I really like the nice people who work here. Come here, slip into a booth and chow down on some truly tasty, unfussy food. read more

This is definitely the place for legit Mexican food! I thought I'd never find it. I knew it would be good by the humble look of the restaurant itself. The right amount of spice in those chilaquiles and enchiladas. The tamales are flavorful and moist. The portions are generous. The people are down to earth and fast. If you're looking for Mexican food close to the one your momma makes, do yourself a favor and visit this place. Yes, the table is a little sticky as I read in a previous review but I'd rather eat good authentic food than visit a presumptuous looking restaurant where the food is as lame as my high school math teacher. read more
